Least favorite KR season

[Smilodon]

Murai Ryota is atrocious. This is mostly because of my pro-Odagiri fanboy-ism.

Den-O, I loved it for the humor and Yuriko Shiratori and Takeru Satoh. It was a joy to watch for the Comedy. Not really for the story, even though they were some intresting parts.

I don't know what so bad about Hibiki, unless they didnt like how they didnt say "Henshin" or used or Rider Kick or just hated Asumu.

^I know the real reason was because we only can make 10 choices. XD

Wow I'm noticing a downward spiral in the hatred. It makes it look like W saved the franchise.

From my scant travels through the fandom, Den-O was the breaking point for people, where Toei started getting overly ambitious with its concepts. Den-O was the satire Rider, Kiva was.... a thing, and Decade, holy crap that show broke a lot of longtime online Rider fans' hearts.

Which makes me sad cause I love Den-O and Decade to bits (I'm pretty sure I'd like Kiva too if not for its insufferable main character.)

W? It's great and all but W plays it safe in all sorts of ways. Maybe not safe in terms of "Heisei Rider" but in terms of "hero story in general," definitely. I can easily see why people latched on to it. It's the first time Rider's made some damn sense from ep. 1 onward in a long time.

I voted Kabuto, because of all the Heisei Rider shows I tried and failed to get into, that one makes me the angriest after the fact.

 

[Pixelphile]

Exactly!

I'm trying to go through Heisei now and it's... kind of a chore, but Kabuto makes me the angriest because it could have been so much better. And not in any sort of fan-fantasy expectations like I see a lot of people place on Decade or something, I mean basic fundamental episode-contained plotting.

That's the only Heisei show so far where I can lose track of what the episode is about with a single scene change.

I really don't get where the Kabuto hate comes from. I wont say anyone is wrong for hating it I just don't get it.

y ya calling ryuki dragon knight??

What? Check again it clearly says Ryuki.

Kiva was all over the place IMHO.

Kiva, cause it seems like a Twilight version of Kamen Rider, Followed By blade cause I just couldnt get interested in it.

Kiva, cause it seems like a Twilight version of Kamen Rider, Followed By blade cause I just couldnt get interested in it.

Same thing happened to me with Blade but then once I pushed through to watch the episodes I started really getting into it and now I really want another season like Blade. XD

And harsh on the Kiva. 0_< Noone should be called Twilight.
